Guillermo del Toro Adapting Lovecraft, Frankenstein AND Jekyll and Hyde?

It appears that Hellboy's Guillermo del Toro might be returning to his horror roots after directing the upcoming Hobbit films. Comingsoon.net has an interview with the director -- who began his career with fright films like Cronos, The Devil's Backbone, Mimic and Blade 2 -- stating that he plans on tackling three horror adaptations after all this Hobbit hubbub dies down: Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.

With the updated Wolf Man coming out next year, maybe the new Hollywood trend will be remaking classics. (Might I suggest Leonard Part 6?) Don't get too excited, though, because The Hobbit and its sequel aren't scheduled to hit theaters until 2011 and 2012, respectively, so it'll probably be at least five years until we see anything else from del Toro.
